im just tryng to figure out a good way to get good lighing over my 10 gallon nano reed, i do plan on having sof corals so it will need to be able to keep them healthy. i was thinging of using a reflective light hood and screwing in around a 50watt compact flouresent light. would something like that be able to grow soft corals?

Hi Josh,

I used a Coralife retro kit on mine. Here is the build.

i dont think i can find a light fixture short enough and powerfu enough to work for my tank though, its 13 inches wide

There is one. I use it on my nano at work. It's a 2.5 gal.

I tried just http://www.jlaquatics.com and it was refused.
I think the site is down right now.
